No one has quibbled about that so I charge &pound;16 per hour now or &pound;17 if I have to use the toll road. No complaints about price so far&nbsp;<img src="/emoticons/new/Tonque_out_smiley.png" alt="Shocked" /></p> <p>I think the average is &pound;16.50 I saw on some locum nurse facebook network. The average is higher in London i believe, if you were considering doing any locum work there</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
